She's
his opposite in every way...and the greatest temptation he's ever known.
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has
neither the time nor inclination for chaos—and Isabella, with her purple hair
and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified.
With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire
heir can’t afford the distraction she brings.
Isabella is everything he shouldn’t want, but with every look and every touch,
he’s tempted to break all his rules…and claim her as his own.
***
Bold, impulsive, and full of life, Isabella Valencia has never met a party she
doesn’t like or a man she couldn’t charm...except for Kai Young.
It shouldn’t matter. He’s not her type—the man translates classics into Latin
for fun, and his membership at the exclusive club where she bartends means he’s
strictly off limits.
But she can’t deny that, beneath his cool exterior, is a man who could make her
melt with just a touch.
No matter how hard they try, they can’t resist giving into their forbidden
desires.
Even if it costs them everything.
King of Pride is a steamy opposite attract, forbidden billionaire romance.
It's book two in the Kings of Sin series but can be read as a standalone.
Contains explicit content and profanity. Recommended for mature readers only.
My Review: I have to admit, I almost gave up on this one...but stick it out, trust me.
I loved the first book and couldn't wait for the rest of the series. However, the first 15 chapters were pretty slow which made it feel boring for me.
Isabella is lovely. She is always herself, has all kinds of stories to tell (especially at work), great friends and just written really well. Now if, only she could get that books of hers done already.
Kai is the opposite. He is quiet, more reserved and well kina boring. He is good at pretty much everything, on his way to become CEO much sooner than he planned. Has weekly scheduled lunches with the guys and so on. Very no nonsense business guy.
A night out lead to a kiss and then cue the questions and thinking while weeks go by and Kai hasn't shown back up at the club...
Until Thanksgiving where Kai gives Isa a chance to meet him upstairs and finally they cave. And that's when everything changes and the pace picks up. Kai's jealous at moments makes him sweet, protective and possessive all at once. Isa loves to play on that and drive Kai crazy. These two are wonderful together.
From
Birthdays to Christmas to dates. These two are sweet and certainly know how to
be spicy. Everything is go perfectly well....until photos emerged and things
took a quick change.
From job loss to spontaneous getaways. Isa and Kai are made for each other. In the end they'll take the next step in their forever.
I love
this series so far and its certainly one you should have on your TBR.
